What we’re about
This meetup is inspired by Ron, a hiking and XC-Skiing enthusiast. Ron is 81, retired, fit and sociable and looking for people to join him and more importantly, share the ride.
We're going to try scheduling a hike at least once a week starting with our first event of 2022 on April 20. We'll meet at the Good Earth Cafe parking lot at 9:00 am most Wednesday mornings. Then drive up to the Prairie Mountain trail head with other members. The trailhead is about 40 minutes from Cochrane so we'll aim to be at the trailhead just before 10:00.
The hike can take anywhere from 2.5hr to 3.5hr depending on your fitness level. At this time of year spikes are useful and a walking pole is a nice addition. Bring water and snacks to eat at the summit.
This is the trailhead location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Prairie+Creek+Trailhead+(Alberta+66)/@50.8672819,-114.8044918,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x5370fd4e04c19bb5:0x9a9a2ced5e723649!8m2!3d50.8666128!4d-114.7889071
If you have other event in mind please contact me and I can post them or give you hosting privileges. Chances are that Ron will want to join you.
Hope to see you on the next outing!
